Casey (1992)by focusing on the discussion concerning the notion of “responsibility.” The Court’s decision upheld most of the provisions of the Pennsylvania legislature, imposing a new standard to determine the validity of laws restricting abortions in order to acknowledge the significance of a community’s value respecting a life of the unborn child. This decision is seen as emphasizing a state abortion regulation imposing a “responsibility,” rather than women’s right to abortions. Therefore, women seeking an abortion could be isolated from the community which imposes a responsibility for a life of the unborn child because of the provisions of the legislature restricting abortions. I argue that the Court’s decision can be seen as a failure to take into account the real experiences of individual pregnant women. Carol Gilligan’s study has previously showed how women seeking an abortion recognize the notion of “responsibility.” Building on Gilligan’s argument and findings, I reexamine the discussion regarding the notion of “responsibility” in the Planned Parenthood v. Casey decision.}, pages = {47--60}, title = {「責任」をめぐるCasey判決とフェミニズム理論}, volume = {10}, year = {2007} }
